HI NickyGaz. We hit kind of a dead end. Joanne had an email conversation with CIOT in OZ and they were not really very helpful. Might have to speak to an Immigration agent as our next step or maybe just email some employment agencies and see who bites. Good luck. Fingers crossed Andrew

Are there any recruitment consultants as members on here?

Hello all. My other half is a chartered certified accountant (ACCA) with 9 years experience and is also a chartered tax adviser (CTA) with 5 years post qualification experience in tax compliance and advisory and she was wondering how easy it would be to transfer her skills to Oz with the ACCA and the CTA being vocational qualifications and not a university degree. Also, are these skills much in demand? Any info regarding hours/salary would be appreciated. TIA Andrew (and Joanne)...

Thank you for your contributions. It's nice to get an alternative viewpoint for a change. Some of the voices on the forums are full of doom and gloom but like I said, thats not how we found the place last year but we were only on holiday. That said we had a good scout about the place snd we still love Adelaide. Jessica we have a couple of options regarding visas but I need to graduate first (which will be next summer hopefully) and theres some post grad qualifications Im thinking of doing first before we come over. Hopefully we will see you all soon

That's good to know John. What we experienced while we were over bore no resemblance to what we've read about on the forums. We can't wait to get back over TBH

Hello. We're new to this site having surfed through Poms in Oz for a bit before getting redirected here. We are considering the big move over to Adelaide in 2 or 3 years or so once I have finished my Osteopathy degree. We have been to Adelaide a couple of times on holiday, twice in two years to be exact and we love the place, the people, the climate and it always feels like home and we were surprised at the change in the city in the time between our two visits. Like I said, we are considering moving over in the not too distant future and we were worried by some of the negativity on some of the forums in regards to the economy and the job market and were wondering if it is still n the doldrums or if the situation has started to improve. Things didn't appear to be that bad when we were over in October '15. My OH is a UK qualified CTA and I will be an Osteopath once I qualify and the issue finding work or at least the promise of work before we leave is probably our biggest concern. Anyways, Hello once again from us, all your comments and advice is greatly appreciated. TIA Andrew. P.S. Can any fellow Stokies tell us if you can get a decent oatcake or half dozen in Adelaide or not?
